The Art of Staying Neutral offers a fascinating insight into the problems and challenges associated with neutrality in an age of 'total war'. It explains how the Netherlands upheld and protected its non-belligerency during the First World War despite constant interference from its warring neighbours. Staying neutral was an artform that the Dutch managed to master through clever diplomacy, conscientious adherence to international laws, comprehensive mobilisation of its armed forces, regular patrols of its territorial boundaries, careful policing of its citizens, and a decisive measure of good fortune. The Art of Staying Neutral makes important contributions to the study of neutrality and the domestic history of the Netherlands in this seminal world event. - The Art of Staying Neutral geeft boeiende inzichten in de problemen en uitdagingen van neutraliteit in een tijdperk van 'totale oorlog'. Het boek zet uiteen hoe Nederland zijn neutrale status tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog wist te handhaven en beschermen, ondanks de constante druk van buren die wél in oorlog waren. Neutraal blijven was een kunst die de Nederlanders beheersten door middel van uitgekiende diplomatie, zorgvuldige naleving van internationale wetten, uitgebreide mobilisatie van gewapende eenheden, regelmatige patrouillering langs de landsgrenzen en nauwgezette controle van de onderdanen, maar ook dankzij een flinke dosis geluk. The Art of Staying Neutral levert een belangrijke bijdrage aan de studie van neutraliteit en besteedt ook volop aandacht aan de nationale en internationale gevolgen van de opstelling van Nederland tijdens deze ingrijpende periode uit de wereldgeschiedenis.

The article focused on the research of the officer's staff of the Ural Cossack's infantry during the 1st World War. It is the first attempt to examine of some aspects of training of the officers in the Cossack military embodiment, their educational and professional growth. The reader could find some interesting facts of the losses, decorations and faith of some officers after the end of the First World War.

Le présent article porte sur le sabotage, la sécurité et la culture du passage de la frontière dans la région de la rivière Détroit au cours de la Première Guerre mondiale. Il fait ressortir qu'à la lumière des profondes relations socioéconomiques transnationales existant au cours des années d'avant-guerre, peu de résidents de Windsor auraient pensé s'inquiéter d'être la cible potentielle d'Américains d'origine allemande - sujets d'un pays ennemi - établis à Detroit. Tirés subitement de leur naïveté en juin 1915 lors de l'explosion d'une fabrique d'uniformes, les habitants de Windsor se sont remis sans tarder de leurs craintes liées à la frontière et à la population allemande de Detroit. La confrontation les opposera plutôt au gouvernement fédéral qui, dans les années suivant l'attaque, cherche à imposer de strictes conditions de traversée dans une section jusqu'alors perméable de la frontière internationale.

This paper discusses the massive use of camps by the Austro-Hungarian Empire
during the First World War, 1914-1918, in order to achieve its war aims,
being the most prominent country of the Central Powers. The camps were
founded for each nation separately. There were at least 300 camps, out of
which ten were large. There were captivated Serbian prisoners of war, but
unlike other nations, there were also Serbian civilians interned, which was
prohibited by Geneva conventions. In these camps, there was a mass mortality
of Serbian inmates aged 1 to 101 years. The final number of imprisoned and
killed Serbs has not been determined, but it is considered to be much higher
than the estimated number accepted at the peace conference in Versailles.
From the previous research the main causes of their suffering can be seen.
These are hunger, inadequate housing of the inmates, the location of the
camps, heavy forced labor, poor hygiene and health care, illness and disease,
punishment and looting of detainees, etc. All camps operated by the same
principle and achieved the same war results: the mass mortality of the
imprisoned people. Given that the camps were massively opened during the
Second World War by the same countries, it is clear that from the beginning
they were planned and designed as the most efficient means of genocide
against the Serbs.

The research on the repercussions of the First World War on the Argentine Republic has been dynamic in recent times, beyond the country's neutrality and its distance from the main front lines. However, some issues remain largely neglected. One of these is how and in what way the conflict has impacted on the Armed Forces, especially on the functioning of military clubs and installations. For this purpose, the case of the Centro Naval (Naval Centre), an institution that brought together most of the officers of the Argentine Navy between 1914 and 1918, will be examined by analyzing two issues: first, its social activity, that is, the meetings, reunions and visits that took place in its facilities; second, the composition and the kind of content issued by its main publication, the Boletín del Centro Naval (Naval Centre's Bulletin). ; Las investigaciones sobre las repercusiones de la Primera Guerra Mundial en la República Argentina han sido dinámicas en los últimos tiempos, más allá de la neutralidad del país y de su distanciamiento de los principales frentes de batalla. No obstante, algunas cuestiones todavía permanecen mayormente desatendidas. Una de ellas es cómo y de qué forma la contienda impactó en las Fuerzas Armadas, en especial, en el funcionamiento de los clubes y centros militares. Para ello se tomará el caso del Centro Naval, institución que reunía a la mayor parte de la oficialidad de la Armada Argentina, entre 1914 y 1918, mediante el análisis de dos cuestiones: primero, su actividad social, a saber, los encuentros, reuniones y visitas que tuvieron lugar en sus instalaciones; segundo, la composición y el tipo de contenido que emitió su principal publicación, el Boletín del Centro Naval.
